The Gallery Cafe

The Gallery Cafe Ballina is a hidden gem nestled between two majestic Norfolk Pines, offering relaxed dining in a tranquil garden setting. Located in a beautifully restored, heritage-listed 1920s building—once the original Ballina Council Chambers—it shares its historic space with the Northern Rivers Community Gallery.

Open for breakfast, lunch and brunch, The Gallery Cafe showcases fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, delivering quality fare with a creative twist. Dine inside the character-filled Gallery Rooms or soak up the sunshine on the leafy verandah—both perfect spots for catching up with friends, hosting a meeting or enjoying a solo coffee.

Pet-friendly and community-minded, the cafe also caters to private functions and events, with flexible indoor and outdoor spaces accommodating up to 110 guests.

Whether you’re browsing local art, enjoying a bite with your pup, or just in need of a peaceful place to pause, The Gallery Cafe is a must-visit destination in the heart of Ballina.
